Buddy ORV

Buddy ORV is a zero turn robot capable of performing a variety of RP and engineering tasks from a safe distance. Buddy ORV is the bigger brother to the RP-Buddy and primarily designed for outdoor use.  This platform is designed to be deployed in hazardous or high rad areas and perform visual inspections while acquiring a multitude or radiation detection data.

Buddy is highly customizable and can carry an air sampler, Indexing Smear Arm, Mirion SPIR Explorer, as well as an RDS-31 survey meter and related probes. The air sampler and smear arm are paired with the controller for remote operation. A reverse camera and color system allows the operator to visually document the location of the smears.

The system is designed to be ready for missions out-of-the-box and economical to own. Buddy uses standard smears, iodine cartridges and 47mm filter media. The batteries are standard SLA and provide up to 2 hours of operation.
